moving the seat'to a position e frame of the chair;

An l'additional object,r is to provide a` chair formed so that a plurality of identical chairs may beA nested the structure including a rigid substantially U shaped frame which holds the front and rear legs' in proper place, the construction being such thattlie seat sections are swung to a substantially vertical position when two or more chairs are `in a nested relationship and to a horizontal position when the chair is in use.

Referring to the accompanying drawings-by numerals,r I and2 indicatethe front legs of the chair, 3 and 4 indicatethe rear legs. Legs'3 and 4 extend upwardly and merge `into the back 5v which, liffrdesired, may have al panel or other Astructure 6.' f Figures 1, '2 and 3 show a chair havingmetalv tubular legs and back rigidly welded to almetal tubular U yshaped' seat frame open at the front of said chair, .said U. shaped Vframe includes a tubular transverse portion 8 welded to two 'tubular lateral'portions 1 and 9. i f

A seat 25 rests' on seat frame 1, 8 and' 9 and is connected by hinges 26 and k21 to' back 5. It is to be notedfthat lateralportions of seat 25 exchair frame shown tend out beyond said seat frame, yand if a person y occupying said chair desired to move it forward by lifting chair withoutv just lifting seat 25 Vit would be `awkward to reach under to get hold of said seat frame therefore there are two flat metal outwardly extending hand grip plates I0 and `I i the rear portions are Welded to the upper and outer border of seat frame, the forward por-f tions of said hand grip plates are welded'to the tops of the tubular legs'l and 2, in Figures 12 2 member, said transverse member having a width approximately equal to the combined width of both of said downwardly extending tubular side members, the wider transverse member rigidly holding and preventing weave or wobble in said tubular side members and said front legs, and the said transverse member occupying a minor portion at the rear end of the space between said side members, leaving the central and forward area open and unobstructed, providing ample space for the nesting therein of the rear portions of two or more chairs of identical size and shape, without raising the legs of said chairs from the floor during the nesting operation.

3. A nestable chair including a substantially U shaped brace open at the front, a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs attached to said U shaped brace, and a seat resting above said U shaped brace and movably mounted to permit the nesting operation, said U shaped brace consisting of two downwardly extending tubular side members rigidly attached at the rear to a connecting transverse member, said downwardly extending tubular side members having a greater depth than width, the twist resisting characteristic of tubular for the nesting therein of the major portion of another chair, without raising the legs of saidchair .01T the iioor when placing the same in nested relationship. f LOUIS DELLERT.
